Kyrgyzstan's President Sadyr Japarov stated that if Gazprom fails to fulfill its gasification obligations, the republic may return the gas system to state control, citing the precedent of the Kumtor gold mine conflict with Centerra Gold. The system was sold to the Russian company in 2013 for a symbolic one dollar, and the agreement is valid until approximately 2039.
Aziz KarimovA Cabinet of Ministers resolution of October 31 introduces differentiated basic norms for the heating season: in non-gasified districts, up to 350 kWh can be paid for at the basic tariff of 550 sums, while in gasified districts the norm remains 200 kWh. The decision had been prepared since October and coincides with the rise in propane prices.
Aziz KarimovAt a press conference on October 14, Deputy Minister of Economy and Finance Khurshid Mustafayev explained the reasons for choosing a baseline norm of 350 kWh: analysis showed that 60% of residents of non-gasified areas consume up to 300 kWh in winter. The raised norm is planned to take effect from November 1, 2026 during the heating season; the 500 kWh option was not supported by a separate comparative calculation.
